Recycling plastic to wear

I have been playing with plastic. We purchased some new bedding over the weekend and it comes in that plastic bag. Usually I could use the bag for storing things. I have vintage suitcases for this now. What to do with this plastic........Oh I know! Make stuff from them. I like those glass necklaces with the silver or gold border trims and you put things inside of them. I tried my own version using 2 pieces of plastic and binding. I used photos from a 1940's vintage magazine. I used vintage bed sheets. There is endless amounts of items you can use in these. You don't need just flat items either. You can use buttons, charms anything. I am going to make a few more of these for my indie craft shows. I plan to make them into necklaces, key chains, purse tags, brooches and book markers. I am eventually going to list a few of these items I have been making in my Etsy shop. I just became aware of all the lovely things I show you and never give you a chance to get one.

Thank you for all your emails, posts and words of encouragement. THANK YOU! Its been tough these last few days. It's never easy to loose someone. XOXO I have not forgot about the contest I talked about in previous posts. I am still having it. Just need some time to get back into the swing of things. ITS COMING VERY SOON!
